Rausch Creek February 2013

I did all my prep last night knowing it was going to really crappy out. I disconnected my rear sway bar and loaded up my spare. Also packed my 1/2 inch ratchet, extensions and 18mm socket to disconnect the front sway bar.

Luckily my XK still squeezes into my garage lol.

Tomorrow i'll pack up my toolbox. Normally i bring enough tools to take apart just about anything on a vehicle. Though I dont think we'll need anything this trip, i'd rather have it and not need it

You never know with a beat ass XJ I might need every tool known to man to make it home

Good point.... i'll bring more!

Now that I have all my tools out of storage I'm in a much better situation than I was in, but extra tools never hurt anyone.

I'm still rolling with my damaged radiator, so if you have a magical fix better than the RTV that has the hole mostly plugged, I'm all ears

Truer words have never been spoken

Damn man.... drain some fluid out, squish some JB weld in those fins, refill before you leave and you should be golden.

The rtv had it handled until just the other day, then it sprung a small leak, so I hit it with some more rtv. Eventually when it warms up I'll put a new radiator in it, but for now it is what it is, and I have more rtv with me.
